YIL - if you are going to use the top step of an 8' step ladder to trim apple trees to make sure you step down the front side and not the back because the back side lacks steps.

I also learned that if the ground is soft it doesn't hurt very much to fall from 8'.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Yil where to put my fork & spoon on a plate...

TIL that if your spouse cooks some truly yummy lasagna and you over-indulge and develop a bit of paint-peeling flatulence; it is NOT a good idea to cheerfully inform her that "lasagna" is an anagram of "anal gas".

Sigh... please add the TIL that I'm missing...

you're not missing anything. I thought 'pejorative' had an r before the j. It doesn't.

Today I learned that when you get little sandy bits covering your whole body 2 weeks after having a new water softener installed that those are the resin bits that are supposed to stay in the unit. I don't know why the membrane ruptured so soon after install. Its 1230 ish and I have just finished flushing hot water tank and cleaning out all the clogged aerotors (sic) of the sinks so 4 ladies can shower etc in am. Good times. I also think that is probably why the washing machine stopped draining a few days ago.

TIL probably not the water softener as those beads are amber and the ones I had were clear. Plumber says it is probably something called the dip tube in the water heater. It will rupture giving you the beads.

TIL there are people who believe all fours tires on a car turn the exact same speed at all times.

I'm at the tire shop and a lady came in complaining that her valve stems were not all in the same position after she had been driving. Took a bit of convincing but she finally accepted the truth of physics. The guy at tue counter offered to line them all up again, but they'd be unaligned again when she got home.

Nice.

The guys at Discount Tire didn't look at me too funny when I asked them to line up the valve stem with the brand name.

Probably a biker racer in the group.

Yeah, it's a pretty trivial thing, but if they got in the habit of doing it, a few people would notice the attention to detail.

I seem to recall one of the car restoration TV shows talking about how some manufacturer used to index the tires on some cars.

Wait. Just so I'm understanding you correctly: You're talking about the valve on the tire right? She couldn't understand that their positions/relation to each other, etc... would change after driving around?

Wow. What does she think happens when she makes a turn?

Bigger question: why would you even pay attention to them?
